Prisoners For Christ Strategic Plan 2024-2030 T HE F RANCHISE M INISTRY
What Is the Franchise Approach to Ministry? Typically, when working with the franchise model in corporate America, there are two entities: the franchiser and the franchisee. The franchiser has a product or service to sell and has the infrastructure to maintain and service its growth. The franchisee is typically an entrepreneur who has an affinity and desire to market the products or services. How Does the Franchise Concept Work in Ministry? In essence, the franchise approach to ministry is a partnership designed to influence the kingdom of God by equipping the saints to do works of service for those who are incarcerated. PFC is a sharing ministry, meaning all that we are and all that we have are gifts from God to be released back into the church community . Therefore, it is our hearts’ desire to empower men and women through partnership and collaboration who have a desire to be used by God in the jails, prisons, and juvenile institutions across this country. The wonderful thing about becoming a franchisee with PFC is that there are no up-front or ongoing franchise fees. What Are the Levels of Partnership? 1. Volunteer: This individual is working alone or with a small group, without a spiritual covering, and desires to be a part of something larger. 2. Church Representative: This person is someone who has been given the oversight from his or her local church to manage, train, and equip volunteers from their specific church. The church representative should be able to manage multiple volunteers from his or her church for different prison locations. This is a volunteer position. 3. Area Representative: This person is someone who has been working in the prisons as a volunteer for at least three years and has a full-time career but desires to take prison ministry leadership to the next level. The area representative is an extension of the PFC arm and should have a desire and heart to recruit, train, and manage several volunteer teams from multiple different local churches. This is a volunteer position. 4. Full-Time Prison Missionary: This person is an existing prison ministry volunteer with at least three years of prison ministry experience and has a distinct call from God to serve on a full-time basis. This person would be responsible for raising his or her own financial support. The application and training process typically takes between three and nine months to complete. For more information on any of these levels, please contact us via one of the methods listed above.
